FINISHING THE PARKS.

The action of the Park Commissioners is
enveloped in such nimbus of mystery that
it is usually difficult to divine their purpose.
1t seems reasonably established, however, that
they have instructed their engineer and
Superintendent to report upon the feasibility
of carrying out the original plans of Morn
ingside Park. The fact that much work has
been already donc on this park with mo-
tive at variance with the general design-but
tho elevated railroad has since been reared
in front Of it-that One-hundred- tenth
st. Is to be widcned, and that many other
marked changes in the condition Of things
have occurred. would seem to Justify pretty
thorough revision Of the scheme But sup
pose these officers report that the old plan
can be patched and stretched to suit the new
growth Of the West Side; what is to be done
with Riverside7
No plans for this work have ever been

A SIMMER SCHOOL OF DEBATE.

.Wbat had we better debate? Please suggest
some good fresh subjects" SO writes CORE
spondcnt. lie premises that ho has organized o
summer school of debate in the boundless con-
tinuity Of shade in which he Is spending the
heated term that all the boarders belong TO 1t ;
that the school is anxious to begin debating but
the members have no heart to reopen any of tho
old controversies, such as the origin OF evil, the
authorship of Shakespeare, Hamlets madness,
which is the best way TO reach the North Pole.
which Is the best of the contemporaneous baking
powders. the tariff, how TO set q hen etc, etc.
In response TO our correspondent we would say
that good fresh subjects for animated. entertain
ing debate would seem to lie on every side wait
ing to be piuclked For instance
Who controls the car window-the man next to
1t Of his seat mate? This question was lately
propounded in TIE TRIBUNE, and already it has
excited large amount Of popular interest. A
saws that the person who is next the window Is
its sole controller. argues that the other occu-
pant OF the seat has just as much to say about
the window as the person who happens to be
nearer it, G Insists that each OF the occupants
Of the seat has n fighting chance. Now which
one Of these positions is the correct one Or
are they all Incorrect and has ID the right Of the
matter In holding that neither Of the two occu-
pants Of the seat can prudently be intrusted
with the control Of the window since both are
likely to be prejudiced, but that the control
must be vested in some man with calm judicial
cast of mind who sits across the aise 1t is a
fresh and fascinating subjects we take pleasure
in recommending 1t TO the summer school Of
debate.
And here's another good subject; What's the
best way to break parrot of swearing For
some occult reason most parrots take 70 profanity
as ducks TO water. How are you going to reform

THE HTATE CONYENTION.

The Republicans of this State evidently
intend to make q winning canvass this fall
They are talking and acting like men whit
feel just that way, and their hope of success
rests upon firm foundation. They realize
that this is not Democratic year, either
here in New-Yok or throughout the coun-
try. President Cleveland's laundering rebel
flag order and laundering st. Louis letter
and Governor H IFS veto of the Crosby and
the Veddcr bills-vetOes which shamel sslN
sacrificed the taxpayers for the benefit and
at the command of the rum power-have had
a disastrous effect upon Democratic pros
poets. On the other hand, the Republican
majority in the last Legislature pursued a
course during the winter which served great
ly to strengthen the Republican party with
reputable voters. That majority passed the
great reform bills which Governor Hill We
toed, it wisely and prudently lcgslated to
promote the canal and other Important public
interests, its great fiscal measures were clean
and judiciOus, and it effected reduction
in the tax-rate.
One result of the hopeful feeling which
this political situation has inspired in the
breasts of our Republican friends takes
the shane of a widespread demand for an
early Republican State Convention. Many OF
the leading newspapers of the party In the
interior have given expression to this demand
and so far as we have observed there has been
no note of dissent THE TRIBUNE is heartily
in favor of the proposition "When you are
right said shrewd philosopher, "you can
not be too radical when you are wrong you
cannot be too conservative 1t Is
pretty much so with State conventions.
When a party goes into campaign to win
it can hardly start too early. When a party
goes in to be whipped the later 1t stlrts the
shorter the agony. The Republicans of New
York have nothing to lose and everything 10
gain by a campaign long enough TO admit OF
a thorough presentation Of the issues involvei,
in every school district Of the State.
The Democrats, although the tide is against
them, have the advantage which comes OF
possession. The offices which are TO become
vacant in January they now hold. Further
more, they have for their leader in the person
of Hill an adrot and untiring politician who
will not hesitate to use his great public posi-
ton for purely partisan purposes. These
considerations enforce the demand for an
early Republican convention to the end that
there may be an adequate campaign.

OTHER SIGNS IN ENGLAND.

The result Of the electoral contests in Eng
land Yesterday gives continued encouragement
| to the Home Rule cause. In the Bnxton
division of Lambeth the Gladstonlan candi-
date made gain of 6S3 votes, while the
Conservative merely held his own. In the
Hornsey division Of Middleex the Conserv-
at;ves have the only grain of comfort in all
| the recent contests Their can iidate was I'M
opposed at the last election, so the comparison
lis made with 1885. This shows a falli G. of
in the vote on both slds but the larger de-
crease is on the Liberal side. AS this is a
Tory stronghold they can obtain small salts
faction from this result.
Basingstoke is Paddmgton over again.
| This is the brief comment Of our well-n-
formed London correspondent upon the cleo
| tion in the northern division OF Hampshire.
Last year there was no contest In THIS dis
trct tho Conservative candidate being un
opposed In the previous year, however,
Mr.. Eve polled 2,313 votes for the Liberals,
while Mr.. Sclater-Booth had 1892 on the
conservative side At the present election
Mr.. Eve is again defeated, but by ma. Olity
of 1872 in place of 1879. The Liberal vote
has increased 113 since 1885, while the
Conservative vote has fallen off 73i. The
net Liberal gain is SAT. This is encouraging
to the friends of Homo Rule, especially as
the Conservatives and Libcral-Unlonists,
frightened by the results Of recent elections,
have probably exered themselves to br ng
out full vote for their side. Their want Of
success is shown by material reduction Of
the total poll, Basingstoke being an exception
to the rule established by recent elections,
in which there has been an increased vote.
| This feature Of the contest in the South of
England deserves careful cons dcration. Tho
Liberals apparently have massed their full
strength with the addition of a hundred or
more Irish voters who were on the Conserva-
tive side in 1855. The Tories have not
brought out their full vote. Their loss is
not due to the actual transfer Of votes to the
Liberal column so r1uch as to abstcntioDs.
The Hampshire Conservatives apparently have
not considered Home Rule, which is now the
only political issue, sufficiently interesting
to require serious exertions on their pat. They
have not been converted to Mr.. Gladstone 5
ideas. They have ceased to regard the Irish
question as one Of critical importance. They
arc growing Indifferent to it. The Govern
menVs policy arouses no enthusiasm. The
Tory leaders, as the saying is in England.
have lost touch with the people. This is a
fact to which our London correspondent re-
fers when he discusses in to-day's cable letter
the chances Of Cabinet reconstruction. Lord
Salisbury would personally prefer to summon
to his aid the Unionist chiefs, Lord Haring-
ton and Sir Hcnry James but the necessity
for appealing to the constituencies for DEM
ocratic and popular support my force him TO
make terms with Lord Randolph Churchill,
who with all his faults of judgment and tcm-
per has the power of discerning political forces.
